Tech woes 

Sigh...second time in a row trying to update my phone has resulted in it being unbootable, this time for less clear reasons than the first. My ROM switched from Android 9 to Android 10 in April, and everything since then has been broken for me =/

Tech woes 

The issue now is that I still have a ton of stuff on my plate for school, so I don't have time to fix it even though I have a hunch about how to. I've been using my old phone in the meantime, but I'm being reminded that there are very good reasons why I replaced it...

So now I'm preoccupied by wanting to fix this, which is making me work less effectively, but if I stop to fix it, I'll definitely miss some hard deadlines (if I wouldn't have anyway).

This sort of shit happens all the time to me, and I really wish I could figure out how to break the cycle (to say nothing of somehow acquiring actual Free Time, which seems like a foreign concept at this point). The stress is so real

I just don't know what to do...I'm not even taking enough of a courseload to be considered a full-time student, but I'm struggling so much to stay on top of what I do have. I'm doing relatively well in my classes for once, but that's come at the expense of taking care of myself. I've not been showering regularly, my sleep schedule is erratic, and I've been shirking all other responsibilities. I have no idea how anyone else gets through this school, especially in 4 years

And the only reason I've been able do this well/get into such a messy situation is because COVID forced me back into my parents' house, and they're encouraging and enforcing this behaviour while also making me feel like I'm still not doing enough (and deadnaming and misgendering me constantly). But without them I'd just be failing everything like I did for the previous two years. I have no idea how to go forward, but I don't think I can deal with this for another year+

@artiemog Do you know the last time you had any kind if distraction, fun, or enjoyment? Perhaps spending a piece of the day to watch a movie or otherwise.

@XerTheSquirrel I have to go up to school almost every week to use a lab, so for 1–3 days I stay with a friend I'm in a sort of semi-bubble with, and she helps me unwind. This late in the semester, though, I've had even more to do than usual, so this week I tried to stay here and work instead. But I ran out of my ADHD meds, so until I got more, I just stared at my desk for 3 days trying to work but being unable. So I think seeing her again will definitely help

@artiemog I think so as well, something to get off your back every once in awhile.
